Craft Room Makeover
I haven’t shared my craft room with you since I moved into my new house. Honestly the craft room is usually a big disaster because it’s kind of our catch-all room right now and my kids love going and helping themselves to craft supplies. But because of this big craft room blog hop that I’m participating in, I was forced to clean it up and organize it and finally share my craft room makeover!
When I first moved in, I arranged the furniture like this and hung my pegboard up. It was okay, but it took up a large portion of the room and we needed the room for other things, like the piano I wanted to buy. So I decided to rearrange the furniture and hang some shelves. I wanted to keep all the craft stuff to one side, so that meant I had to get both tables to fit against the wall.
BEFORE:
I realized that I could have the table tops and get rid of the legs and just use the wire basket towers as the base of the craft tables. The two tables end to end were still too long for the wall, so I used my circular saw to cut off the extra length. When you do this, just make sure to put tape on the line you want to cut because it will help prevent the laminate from chipping. I cut it and then it fit like a glove!
AFTER:
I hung the shelves and used some wood boxes I had to store my paint and ribbons and such. I had the intention of painting the shelves and boxes white but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. So this is it for now. And I have too much craft supplies to leave a lot of open space for styling. So this is what it is right now, and I’m actually happy with it.

This is nice looking and functional. I like it. I wondered about attaching the baskets, too.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
How did you attach the wire basket holders to the table tops? I'm thinking about getting table tops and those wire baskets from Ikea, but I have a VERY curious and daring toddler who I am certain will climb on top. So, I'm curious if you attached the tops to the basket holders and if so, how?
Thanks!

Did you secure the table top to the wall or is it just sitting on the basket towers? And if it is just sitting on the baskets, is it sturdy?
